Dr. Morakinyo is an urban climatologist and bioclimatologist. He earned his PhD from the City University of Hong Kong, focusing on the role of urban green infrastructure in local air quality and thermal comfort through modelling and measurement. Over the past decade, his research has explored the interaction between urban land use and human stress in a changing climate and the role of green infrastructure in enhancing urban adaptive capacity. More recently, his work has expanded to understanding heat-health relationships in sub-Saharan Africa using geospatial technologies and open climate data to support multi-level heat adaptation planning for African cities.Education
